Building the physical world's data layer for robots — from a single 360° capture to a simulation-ready digital twin.

About

I'm co-founder of Splatica — a Physical AI startup converting 360° video into physics-accurate, simulation-ready 3D digital twins for robot training, exportable to NVIDIA Isaac Sim and Omniverse. We're an official Insta360 partner and NVIDIA Inception member, based in London.

My background spans over a decade of commercial leadership across frontier technology — from AR in automotive at WayRay, to EVs at Arrival, to humanoid robotics at Humanoid. I also founded Global Talent Club, a 1,000+ person community for Global Talent visa holders in London.

I'm interested in the convergence of computer vision, physical simulation, and embodied AI — and what it means to make the real world machine-readable at scale.
